quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), two antioxidants that protect cells against oxidative stress. Although hydrogen peroxide treatment increased lipid peroxidation in non-GRP78 overexpressing cells, this increase was significantly reduced in GRP78-overexpressing cells. Overall, these results indicate that GRP78 plays an important role in protecting glial cells against oxidative stress via regulating the expression of GSH and NQO1.

Oxidative stress, caused by the over production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), has been shown to contribute to cell damage associated with neurotrauma and neurodegenerative diseases. ROS mediates cell damage either through direct oxidation of lipids, proteins and DNA or by acting as signaling molecules to trigger cellular apoptotic pathways. The 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) is an ER chaperone that has been suggested to protect cells against ROS-induced damage. However, the protect ...[more]
